General: Join us April 19th, 2025 for the 2nd Annual First Splash Sunfish Regatta on a serene, gasoline-engine-free lake. Local Sunfish can be reserved in advance to ensure availability.
Rules: The Regatta will be governed by the racing rules of sailing (sections 25-29) and the
Sunfish class rules, as amended by the sailing instructions.
Entry Eligibility: The event is open to Sunfish skippers who register before the skippers’
meeting. Membership in Sunfish, CRSA, or other sailing clubs/associations is recommended
but not required.
If you don’t want to race, please feel free to come and spectate! Set up our chairs on the shoreline, just like you would at a soccer game, and cheer on the racers as they sail by only a few yards away. This is “truly stadium sailing.”
